Are you a struggling or beginner guitarist aged 40+? If so, check out author Dan Thorpe’s series of 7 books which now features a brand new guide on improving your technique
How to overcome the”seven stumbling blocks of learning guitar” so you can play the songs you love and have more fun
“All the over-hyped YouTube videos teaching “guitar hacks” or “easy ways” are amusing,” says this guitar teacher who has helped over 120 real-life students and many 1000s more around the world.
If you want to make confident, steady and enjoyable progress to overcome the issues that plague most beginners, then I can help you with a clear plan to follow.”
Did you know there are 7 big stumbling blocks that most beginner and struggling guitarists find trip them up?
If you have played for a while and feel frustrated, “too old to learn” or like you have no talent, read on because…
Although there is no magic solution…
After years of teaching over 120 real students who are probably just like you as you are reading this…
I have created 7 step by step books to help solve these 7 specific issues so…
You can make steady and methodical progress and have fun relaxing with the guitar, play your favourite songs, keep your brain sharp and healthy, and most of all…
Get back that excitement to pick up the guitar every day
To get to this point you have to get past what I call the “7 stumbling blocks of learning guitar”.
Many students hit the brick wall with these 7 and then after years of toil, they end quitting while the guitar gathers dust in the attic along with their guitar playing dreams.
Let me ask you, how many of these “seven stumbling blocks” do you struggle with to some degree?
- Slow chord changes
- Poor and unrhythmic strumming
- Not understanding music theory
- Buzzing or painful barre chords
- Having no plan
- Sore fingers, tense playing, awkward playing (i.e. poor technique)
- And nothing to guide you on the next step of your playing once the above is fixed
If you struggle with even just two or three of the above, you will be pleased to know…
A while back I created 7 exact step-by-step books so you can learn how to fix, solve, and improve these areas so…
You can make real progress just like my private students do (but at about 1% of the cost)…
These 7 books feature zero fluff, and are all laid out in short and easy to follow series of steps, specifically created to…
Help you on the road to
Fixing your guitar playing frustrations in a clear way
As soon as you begin using them
The books are powerful, but you need to know, they won’t make you Clapton overnight (nothing will) and there is no magic bullet for your guitar playing.
The advice and lessons require regular practice, perseverance and an openness to new ideas and…
If you have tried learning on YouTube you may find these books a breath of fresh air because but the truth is, YouTube is NOT very good for beginners. (If you have played for years, it is a different story).
Most “teachers” on YouTube have never taught more than the odd lesson.
These lessons are all taken from nearly a decade of teaching guitar full time, to beginners a lot like you…
Especially if you are learning later on in life, lack confidence and need a simple and easy to follow plan. Each of these lessons have helped 120+ students systematically overcome these hurdles so they could play the songs they love. If you are in doubt, nothing in these books is random (unlike YouTube) because each book is laid out properly with structure and…
I even tell you the exact order to use the books in meaning…
You will know exactly which book to read and when to read it so…
The next few months and even years of your playing will be laid out for you, so you can see results and learn the songs you love the most.
Each book is available in both PDF and Mobi formats so you can read them on your PC, Mac, phone, tablet and Kindle.
If this sounds exciting, read on to find out more about each book and the specific plan I have created for you…
Improve your technique, chord changes, music theory, barre chords, strumming, + more and above all, your confidence and enjoyment…
Each of these books has been specifically created to improve, fix and nurture the 7 most frustrating areas that guitarists struggle with, in the early years of their playing.

#1 – Essential Guitar Technique – 19 Step-By-Step Lessons on How to Play Guitar with Less Pain and More Enjoyment
The biggest problem I see students struggle with is… basic technique. Poor fundamental technique means… slow progress, sore fingers, and music which, frankly, doesn’t sound very musical.
Most beginners (and even many experienced players) struggle for far too long not knowing how to fix these issues but this book features 19 key lessons I have discovered over the years that have helped my students the most.
- Learn the quickest way to prevent sore fingers in your fretting hand
- How to quickly erase tension in your hands and make playing comfortable and actually enjoyable
- Exactly how to stop the hair-raising experience of plucking the wrong strings once and for all
- The one quick and simple strumming tip which will change the tone from harsh to pleasant.
- The 2-minute “Air Claw” exercise to practise and improve your finger dexterity and flexibility, without your guitar.
- Plus… How to develop your pinkie, stop your hand aching using the “Light thumb”, the rarely taught method for up strumming, and more.
Each of the 19 simple tips are powerful on their own, but they become more powerful as you combine them, so you can get on making proper progress with your playing and putt the frustrating basic issues behind you.
Allan Ridley – 5 Stars
Thanks, Dan for another excellent book. Well done, my boy that’s what I like to see unfortunately my guitar playing has stalled a little due to ill-health but I am strumming my way back so thanks again for the book. Cheers
#2 – Strumming 101: How To Strum Your Guitar Like A Pro!
I remember teaching strumming Chris. He was confused to why he couldn’t strum Brown Eyed Girl after lots of practice but his daughter could pick it up in minutes.
The issue was Chris’ rhythm. We went to work building up his basic rhythm skills and teaching him one strum pattern at a time. This worked and he grew in confidence slowly building up a repertoire of 5 strum patterns to call on at will and jam with his daughter.
These exact lessons are the main inspiration behind this book.
- Discover 5 of the most useful strum patterns ever – allowing you to play the 1000s of classic songs.
- Learn how to improve your strumming skills using a simple one-note rhythm exercise.
- The simple secret to varying your strum patterns the pros such as Paul McCartney, Oasis, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, and more, do.
- Fully understand rhythm, sub-divisions and other important strumming terminology with this simple guide.
- Work out strumming patterns for the songs you love by learning (many acoustic songs use just two key patterns).
- Comes with easy to use chord charts, strumming diagrams, and audio tracks
Get this straight to the point no-nonsense book on the basics of strumming which so many struggle with… and learn the exact steps to help make you a confident strummer.
Amazon Reader Review
Brad Carroll – 5 Stars
“This is a GREAT book. Short, to the point, and covers one of the most essential techniques of playing guitar. The author teaches the five most common strumming patterns, each with a variation. He provides a link to a sound file for every pattern/variation, which helps a ton.
This book really delivers on its promise. If you’re on the fence, I feel like even one strumming pattern in here is worth the price. After all, how many would you get taught in a half-hour $20 lesson?”
#3 – Lightning Fast Chord Changes
Did you know that slow and awkward chord changes are the reason why most beginner guitarists quit the guitar or end up hating it?
Probably.
“Well, enough of that!” I say. In this book, you will learn:
- The 6 specific steps I have used to teach chord changes to well over 120 real students.
- The pro secret chord changing tip that many guitarists don’t know about until they stumble upon it (often years later)
- How to use the “Lift-up”, “Diamond”, and “Blast” methods to quickly improve changes between tricky chords such as C and D.
- The single most important change you can make to your thumb position for faster chord changes.
- Plus, which chords you can “pivot” (meaning intentionally leaving a finger on while changing), 60-second-changes, the “Time Trial” and more…
This book will help you get the joy of playing the songs you love without frustrating pauses which ruin the flow. For many, this will be for the first time. It is possible for YOU too and Lightning Fast Chord Changes will help.
Amazon Reviewer – 5 Stars
“This is a fantastic resource for learning to make chord changes on the guitar. If you are struggling with making the pieces you play flow nicely because of the pause between those changes, “Lightning Fast Guitar Chord Changes” by Dan Thorpe will set you on your way to improvement!
The information is explained so well that it’s easy to notice immediate improvement which kept me wanting to practice and did not feel like a chore. Worth the small investment! Highly Recommended!”
#4: How To Play Barre Chords: The Simplified Guide For Chord Guitar Mastery
Does this sound like you… You try to learn barre chords – but they are hard, you give up, try again later, but still find them hard. Give up, start again… and on and on and…
The dreaded cycle continues.
If it frustrates you hearing constant buzzing every time you play an F barre chord or you finally want to get this important part of guitar playing sorted, without pain and frustration, this simple guide will help.
- Learn the one mistake 99% of guitarists make with barre chords
- The truth about the “big 4” barre chords shapes
- Seven simple tips you can learn today to make real improvements to your barre chord technique.
- Exact instructions on how you should position your barre finger for maximum success which even helps to reduce the barre chord playing pain by up to 90%.
- Discover the “Barre Chord Formula” to help you work out any barre chord, any time.
- 12 superb sounding barre chord extensions that will help make your playing more vibrant, exciting and fun.
The bottom line is this – once you learn these four key barre chord shapes, with these specific techniques, and the extras on top…
The number of songs, styles and fun you can have and can play on guitar will increase more than with any other technique.

William S. Pepper – 5 Stars
“Straightforward, practical and understandable approach to playing barre chords. The advice is excellent and the suggested exercises are stellar. No guitarist worthy of the name can afford to be without it!”
#5: Guitarists Get Theory: music theory just for guitar players
I spent so many hours wasting time reading bits and pieces of theory here and there. Most of it I forgot within days.
The main reason was that it was complicated, boring and there was no structure. Even the actual proper books I read on theory sent me to sleep faster than a mug of warm milk and an Enya record!
I made it my mission to write a simple, easy to digest and structured fun theory book.
- Learn theory with a fun, light-hearted and simple to follow guide which
- Combine theory and fretboard knowledge so you can find all the notes on the guitar in a clear and logical way.
- Learn songs faster as you discover the 5 most important chord progressions ever.
- Gain confidence as each chapter builds slowly upon the next (NO jumping ahead like most resources do).
- All terminology is broken down, everything is shown in practical diagrams, and absolutely everything is clearly explained.
- Build your knowledge of theory up from level 1 all the way up.
- Plus, learn about the beauty and the beast of “Consanace and Dissonance”, get Q and As throughout, and even end of chapter quizzes to test you.
- No need to read music to enjoy.
Yes – you can learn all of this by browsing on the net for hours, but why bother, as the net is full of random lessons and no structure which may leave you more confused than ever. Instead, you can learn it all in one simple to follow guide.

Kindle Customer – 5 Stars
“I have been playing the guitar for years, but theory has always eluded me as a self-taught player. This book, in the span of an hour, has taught me more than I’ve learned in the last decade.
So simple, but so clear and easy to get. This is a must-read for anyone beginning the guitar. It also explains the “Nashville” style of session playing that uses Roman numerals for chord progressions, something I always struggled with. Better than a year of lessons.”
#6 The Intermediate Guitar Guide: Learn Embellishments, Ear Training, The Ultimate Warm-Up and More…
If you watch other guitarists in awe and think “I have played for years, but why can’t I do that”, and why am I stuck “playing the same old things”, you need a plan to get to the next level.
But when turning yourself from a beginner to intermediate guitarist, how do you get there? Most guitarists just randomly aim to improve, but a specific plan is what you need and…that plan is here…
- Train your ears like a pro with the “Aural Association Method”
- Learn the highly sought after embellishment technique in the style of Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and more.
- Get the F.R.A.T practice routine which focuses on the important skills needed for intermediates.
- 2 x short and medium-term practise routines to get you comfortable with the fretboard.
- Learn The “Ultimate Warm-up” – a simple routine and technical exercise that will improve your guitar speed, dexterity, accuracy, and more…
You may watch others playing and think “how, just how do they do it” – I know I used to, but just imagine being that guitarist – the one that many are envious of. This book can help you take the right steps to get there…

Yes, Essential Guitar Technique will help you. This is the must-read book for all students and the one I encourage everyone to begin with. It will help relax your fingers, make them nimbler and give you more dexterity. Then, like the Empire state building, the other books can then build steadily on top of this strong and stable foundation.
“You are from the UK but charge in U.S. dollars. Why?”

“I need a plan with my playing. I’m fed up with watching random YouTube videos. Will this help?”
Absolutely, while YouTube is good for learning random songs, it’s pretty terrible for learning guitar in a clear way and there is no path to follow.

Better than that, I give you a plan for how best to use the books and in which order.
